What is the podcast about and why is it presented in both Russian and English?
The following is a conversation with Habib Nirmado. One of the greatest fighters of all time, who retired from the UFC undefeated with a perfect twenty nine and oh record. It was a huge honor for me. To meet him. Yeah. And to have this deep conversation. We had this conversation entirely in Russian. This was my first time doing so on this podcast. And even these words I'm saying right now are spoken in Russian. So if you're hearing me in English, you're actually listening to the English dub. On YouTube, you can switch between language audio tracks by clicking the settings gear icon, then clicking audio track, and then selecting the language you prefer. For the original Russian version, select Russian. And for the English dub, select English.
Subtitles are also available in both languages. The translation and dubbing are a collaborative effort of translators, real human beings, including myself and AI. Thanks to the incredible team at Eleven Labs for their help. And now, please allow me to take this moment to say thank you. from the bottom of my heart for your love and support all these years. I love you all. And now a quick few second mention of a sponsor, check them out in the description or at lexfriedman.com slash sponsors. It is in fact the best way to support this podcast. And by the way, as a brief aside, you're probably listening to this on Spotify or RSS. And so this is an interesting experiment because The original conversation is done entirely in the Russian language.
So uh ladies and gentlemen, dame и господа, друзья, товарищи Браття і сьостри. What you will be listening to is actually an English dub. But on YouTube you can listen also to the Russian original. uh with subtitles in both Russian and English. I think all of that is explained in the intro, I just wanted to say it one more time. We're always trying new things, experimenting. So thank you for your patience, your support along the way. Spacio огромное за все. Alright, back to the sponsors. We got Whisperflow for voice to text writing, Element for Electrolytes, Shopify for selling stuff online, BetterHelp for mental health, and of course. Our friend Perplexity for curiosity driven knowledge exploration, twoswise, my friends.
And now onto the full ad wreath, I try to make 'em interesting, but if you skip. Please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. To get in touch with me for whatever reason, go to Lexfriedman dot com slash contact. All right, let's go. This episode is brought to you by Whisper Flow. The AI voice dictation app that lets you write by speaking, the app I've been using every single day to do a lot of communication with the robot living inside my computer. Increasingly most of the programming I do, most of the interaction with the agentic systems I do are done by boys. and works flawlessly. on uh Android iPhone, it works on my desktop, it just works and has a bunch of useful features including
You can have a custom dictionary where you add words so it learns from you. The thing is just incredible. It's a great execution on an obvious thing that should have existed a long time ago. There's many things like that in life, and nobody builds it. I'm glad Whisperflow built it. And so if you've never tried the tool, I highly recommend it might change your life. I think the key difference with WhisperFlow over any speech detect system is it got past that threshold where it's very accurate and almost no cleanup is needed for the things it generates. So you can just talk freely. And it's going to get the thing right, which is incredible. Also, I should mention because I'm an Android guy, it works really well on Android sometimes.
These super advanced tech companies don't give uh enough love to Android. You know, it's iPhone first often. So I appreciate the love on the Android side of things. Go to whisperflow.ai slash lex to get one month of Whisperflow Pro Free. That's W I S P R Flow dot AI slash Lex. This episode is also brought to you by Element, my daily zero sugar and delicious electrolyte mix I'm sipping it on it now.
